Transcription

1 While the National Emergency Response Planning Committee in their report to the ARRL Board of Directors on January, 2007, developed the twenty recommendations listed below as Appendix 1, it is suggested by the Delta Division leadership that the Emergency Communications Advisory Committee set the following five items as its initial priority list. 1. Credentialing o General Criteria The credentialing process is voluntary, Relates to personnel and teams, either as a single resource or part of a response team, as defined in existing and deployable interstate response resources or first responder assets; Credentialing should focus on required minimum qualifications in order to define and ensure the competency of the stated resource capability being requested; States must establish a program administered by the State Director (or other Official designated by the Governor) to grant authority to agencies, organizations or other entities to issue Qualification Cards for persons to be deployed for interstate mutual aid. Is based on verifiable accreditation and certification issued by the appropriate professional regulatory agencies, professional associations or licensing authorities; Needs to be sufficiently standardized and definable to promote the exchange and regulation through interstate mutual aid agreements or compacts; Credentialing needs to facilitate resources and assets capability for the purpose of inventory and tracking to determine availability status for response operations; Issuance of any credentialing certifications remains with the jurisdiction having authority; and Will need to be able to comply with evolving technological and information standards to permit: o Verification of identity; o Verification of qualifications; and o Verification of deployment authorization.
